CHICAGO, July 1.-THE hot weather
of Saturday was intensified to-day, and
/ there was much suffering throughout
the city. At o'clock this morning the
mercury had reached 90o, and by II it
was 1O0o The maximum, 104o, the
hottest weather experienced i'll Chicago
in years, was reached by l p. m., and
the temperature remained nearly sta
tionary till 5 O'Clock. The street cars
going to the various parks were jammed
all day, while on the lake every eXcur-
sion steamer, tug and sail boat which
could be chartered was loaded down
with masses of people seeking some re-
lief from the intolerable heat. The wind
came from the west over the parched
prairies. and was like a blast from a
furnace. At 5 p. m., however, mass
of clouds gathered in the west, and soon
a furious squall swept down toward the
lake, bringing with it a heavy rain,
which lasted half an hour, laying the
clouds of binding dust and leaving be-
hind it a fresh and delightfully."- cool
atmosphere. Many of the boats Oh
the lake had a hard time beating
back to shore against the wind and
waves and many of the eXcursiOnists
were thoroughly drenched by the large
waves which were swept over the YES
seis. but so far as is known there were
no casualties. From the time of the
storm the temperature began falling
rapidly, and at 8 p. m. had reached lie
with prospect of going even lower.
The number of proStrationS from the
heat was not as large as yesterday,
there being very few labOrerS at work,
but up to 10 p. III. tonight the records of
the police department show that not
less than forty-tiYe persons were stricken
down to-day. Of this number eighteen
have already died and probably more
will die before morning. Saturdays
list was appalling. The total number
of cases cared for by the police was over
100. and of this number thirty or more
have resulted fatally. The police think
that a number Of cases were cared for
privately both Yesterday and to-day
and say that the mortality records. when
fully completed from physicians certifi-
Gates will make a showing of deaths
from prostration Unprecedented in this
city. Such degree of heat has not
been experienced III Chicago. according
TO all authorities in nearly thirty years.
TERRIBLE MORTALITY.
At II O'Clock tonight the latest re-
turns show that siXty-twO persons
have died either at OF Oil the way to the
various hospitals in the city since Sat
urday forenoon. These deaths were all
the direct result of SunStrOke or heat
prostration. \ number of the patients
in the hospitals are in state of coma
tonight. and physicians consider their
cases hopeless. At the county hos
pital physicians and nurses have been
working almost increasingly for thirty
six hours. The crush far exceeds that
following the Hay Market riot.

NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Teams Making Hot Fight
For the Pennant.

I The most casual observer cannot fail to
note that the National league contest is
the closest in many years. 1t is the mid
dleiof July and nearly half of the games
scheduled have been played and yet a
glance at the table presented herewith
shows that Detroit, the leader, has won
but ten more games than Philadelphia,
the fifth team in the list. This showing
is in marked contrast with those of the
past two seasons. In 1885 Chicago and
New York were clearly much too strong
for all their competitors, and when the
season ended Chicago had won eighty
seven games and lost twenty-five, and
New York had won eighty-tive and lost
twenty-seven. Last year Chicago and
Detroit had the fight pretty much to
themselves all season, New York pull
ing up strong at times, but falling away
badly in the closing month. This year
every one OF the eight teams is pretty
certain to make its opponent hustle to
win. For instance, Chicago, which
everybody expects to come to the front,
has very serious work when it strikes
Washington, so serious in fact that the
latter has won six of Il series of ten
games. Detroit, OIL the other hand,
heats Washington in almost every game,
but gets the smaller score in games with
New York and Chicago. Boston has
the eyenest record of defeats, having
lost no less than two or more than four
games to any club. New York has been
losing most of its games for two weeks,
and has sought to change its luck by
changing captains. Capt. Ewing. how
eyer, does not seem to have any better
fortune in winning games than had
Capt. Ward. Philadelphia is again
making a magnificent fight. and betting
is. even that the Quakers will lead New
York at the end of this week. Wash
ington lovers OF the national game are
almost as highly elated as if their favor
ite team had a chance of winning the
pennant. To get into sixth place is con-
sidered very brilliant thing at the
Canital city. pittSburg and Indianapo-

The Story About Buffalo Bill and
the Widow Whitley Said to Be
Untrue.
OMAHA, Neb., July IA Washings
ton dispatch to the New York World of
several days ago in relation to Buffalo
Bill and his married life does Mr.. Cody
great injustice. Mr.. Cody was married
but once, some twenty-five years ago, to
a German lady at Leavenworth, Kan,
and his daughter by that marriage is
now with him in London. In the first
place, Mr.. Cody never married Col.
Whitely's widow, and, in the next
place, he never knew her. J. @. Rich
mond, a young lawyer in Washington,
became acquainted with Col. Whitley
and his wife before the colonel's death:
Subsequently Richmond came West and
located at Pueblo, Col, in the practice
of his profession. After the coIoners
death correspondence took place be-
tween Richmond and the Widow
Whitley, which resulted in their mar
riage at the Grand Central hotel in Den
yer in the early '7Os. After brief
period of welded bliss in Pueblo Mr..
Richmond obtained divorce from his
wife. She went West, and soon after
died in San Francisco, Cal.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
ST. Louis Has Mortgage on the
Pennant.

A pretty general impression got
abroad at the beginning of the season
that Cincinnati would make st. Louis
work very hard for the American asso-
citation pennant. 1t was said, too, that
Baltimore had a gilt-edged aggregation
which would quietly play its way TO the
trophy. st. Louis is, however, daily
making its calling and election sure.
For month it just held its own, but
during the past week it pulled itself to-
gether and took almost everything in
sight. The result is that Baltimore is
now an even ten games in the rear.
Cincinnati is but eight games behind,
but has lost eleven more. No games
are scheduled for to-day, the time being
spent in travelling. Tomorrow Louis
Vile opens in Brooklyn, Cincinnati in
Baltimore and Cleveland in New York.
On the following day st. Louis will
play in New York. The clubs stand

believe that out of their 10000 stalwart

seems that Cleveland is inclined to
agree with them, and practice home
rule for once in his life. Meantime, En-
right is spending a good deal of time

Milwaukee, and the visitors did not hit
